Steel in Union renovations includes new openings, lintels, dunnage for rooftop equipment, and reinforcement of existing framing. We take off each piece. Steel buildings in the area carry heavy snow loads, which means deeper joists and drift-area reinforcement.
Projects in Union are permitted under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), so we follow the code-driven notes on your drawings (connection design, bracing, guardrail heights, and special-inspection requirements) and carry them into the takeoff. Our team uses Tekla Structures, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift to measure and organize every structural steel and metals quantity.
